Calf Care & Quality Assurance (CCQA) program, a first-of-its-kind program for the U.S. calf-raising sector. This vibrant and diverse sector boasts commercial facilities of all sizes. This program is meant for those raising many different breeds of male and female calves intended for dairy and/or beef production systems. The program promotes a mindset — a way of thinking — that prompts calf raisers to approach management decisions with thoughtfulness and an appreciation for the responsibility they have to their animals, consumers, the environment, and the broader cattle industries in the United States. A CCQA certification can be obtained online through the free, self-guided course, or through an in-person training.
